Note: Ensure that the selected number of cups
corresponds to the amount of water in the water
container . Please note that when making coffee
all the water in the water tank is used. If the
number of cups and the amount of water do not
correspond to each other then this can lead to you
not getting the coffee flavour you would like.

5.1 Using coffee beans

• When the bean container is completely full, you can
brew enough coffee for 10 cups 2 or 3 times. Roast-
ed coffee beans lose their flavour. Only fill coffee
beans in the container which will be used within a
few days.
• Open the bean container lid and fill with coffee
beans . Then close the lid.
Note: To ensure the grinder functions perfectly
do not use caramelised coffee beans. Do not put
ground coffee in the bean container.

• Set the grinding fineness. Turn the "grinding fineness
regulator" clockwise to set a finer grinding fineness.
Turn it anti-clockwise to set a coarser grinding
fineness .

the flavour of the coffee. If the grinding fineness is
too fine, the coffee will have a bitter taste. If the
grinding fineness is too coarse, the coffee will taste
acidic.

unnecessary use of electricity and saves energy. You

7. Cleaning and care
7.1 Cleaning the exterior
• The housing and the water tank can be cleaned with
a soft, damp cloth.
• The glass jug and lid and the filter insert are dish-
washer safe.
• The hotplate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth
when it is cold.
For the best coffee flavour we recommend cleaning
the bean container, the grinder and the ground coffee
chute regularly. This is easiest when the bean contain­
er and the grinder are completely empty.
